"Cynthia what's that house over there for?" I was thinking of a perfect dare for Ashton. I had liked him for so long and it was taking me 10 minutes to think of a dare. We sat in a circle with bottles of soda in our hands. We were lame. Cynthia glanced out the window and shrugged.

"Don't know. Never took interest in it, why?"

"Oh I don't know." I smirked at Ashton.

"What you dare me to invite myself in there?" he chuckled shrugging. His cocky self made me angry sometimes. I wanted to be the cocky one this time.

"Is that even a dare?" Michael laughed shaking his head.

"It looks abandoned." Calum added.

"How about you do something else Darian." Luke cut everyone off. I rolled my eyes.

"Since when were you all protective Luke?" I spat. Luke was my older brother and I have no memories of him defending me let alone protecting.

"Never said I was, I just know you're going to get scared."

"Who said I was?" I gritted my teeth.

"Calm down Darian." Luke laughed.

"Fine I'd like to see YOU go in there!" I muttered.

"Ooh shits going down." Michael whispered as Calum nodded in return.

"Let's all go." Cynthia smirked finally. I raised an eyebrow as everyone became silent.

"I'm in." Ashton smiled and stood up brushing himself off, "Let's just see who the motherfucker is who lives in this wierd as hell house."

After awhile everyone agreed leaving Luke frowning still sitting on the floor.

"Come on bro don't be such a pussy." Michael laughed smacking his hand on his shoulder.

"I'm not, I just need to get something." Luke quickly ran up the stairs and came back down with a small camera in his hands. He tossed me my camera.

"Just thought we should film it...you know this is gonna be a memorable trip."

"Right. Let's go." I rolled my eyes and walked out the door following the others.

Little did we know, shit was about to go down.

...........

"Look." Ashton nodded at the window. There was a small fire burning and the t.v. was playing.

"Is that a camera?" I pointed above the door as the others nodded in confusion. I immediately started filming with my small camera.

"Ring the doorbell." I nudged Ashton. I expected an old man with a walking stick to come out but instead a young woman who looked to be in her forties opened the door.

"Hello?" her smile was warm with a mixture of confusion.

"Uh hi may we come in?"

Since when was Ashton so polite? The woman frowned slightly then hesitantly nodded letting us in.

"Why do you have a camera?" the woman whispered to me as I smiled.

"Ma'am, I could ask you the same as to why you have a security camera right above your door frame?"

"Isn't it obvious?" she laughed, "it is if someone tries to get in the house."

"Right." I laughed along but felt very stupid inside for what I said. Luke snickered as I fought the urge to shove him into the stove that was on.

"What's your name?" Cynthia asked the woman.

"Mary, what about all of you?" a wierd chill ran down my spine as the name escaped her lips. It was the name of my psychotic mother. Luke glanced at me out of the corner of my eye as I shrugged it off.

"Im Ashton, that's Luke, Calum, Michael, Cynthia and Darian."

"Nice to meet you all. What bring you here?"

"Well, you're house is VERY big we just wanted to see who lives here it seemed abandoned. You live alone?"

"Yes." Mary smiled. Her smile made me feel quite wierd inside. There was an awkward silence.

"Okay well, we're sorry for bothering you-"

"No! Please have a seat in the living room I love visitors."

"No-"

"Please I insist."

We exchanged looks then Ashton slowly nodded and looked out the window. The sun was setting.

"Alright."

"Okay! I'll be right back with some refreshments!" Mary's mood had somehow skyrocketed from confusion to happiness or...excitement. She left the room and immediately the wierd tension I felt decreased.

"Wow.." Ashton mumbled scratching the back of his head. We glanced around the place. There weren't many lights. There was a fire burning and I suddenly realized how cold I felt. Minutes passed. We heard small humming of a familiar tune I could not figure out. Wind blew as I pulled my flannel up to my chest. One candle went out.

"Where'd she go?" Michael muttered.

"Let's just go." Cynthia mumbled. We all nodded and stood up right as all the lights went out.

"Damn how does this woman survive." Calum muttered feeling his way around the dark. I turned the flashlight from my camera on and looked around. The chilliness I was feeling had stopped.

"Hi uh Mary! Yes we are leaving so have a nice night!"

"Guys I found the door handle." Calum called out. I sighed in relief as I watched the faint outline of his hand twist the knob.

It didn't budge.

"Shit it's locked."

"Well unlock it!" Luke snapped. I shot him a glare.

"Where are you going?" Mary singsonged. I turned around pointing my flashlight everywhere but her small petite figure was nowhere to be seen.

"Home." Ashton gulped.

"No you're not. You came here, now you're not leaving before I have my fun. It gets a little boring around here you know? I haven't felt the joy of blood on my hands for a long time."

Calum started ramming his shoulder against the door.

"I'm kind of...thirsty you know?"

Ashton shoved Calum away and struggled harder.

"You can't leave!" Mary laughed.
She sounded like mother.

"Who the hell are you?!" Luke screamed picking up a glass plate and throwing it in the direction of the voice. The plate smashed and shattered into pieces as we heard a small groan.

"How dare you...blonde boy."

Luke gulped backing up a little. We saw blood drip on the wooden floor but there was still no sign of Mary.

"I'm s-sorry." he whispered. I stuffed my small camera in my pocket but still kept it on.

"Now you've not only made me thirsty, but now I'm mad."

"Let us out!" Ashton screamed kicking the door. Why weren't there any windows? Cynthia stepped back into Luke's which when I realized how long they've had a crush on each other. I wish Ashton felt the same about me. Mary appeared standing right in front of us.

"There's six of you, and a million of me." she laughed and vanished.
